What good are price guides on antiques when people won’t pay those prices?
The term “book price” intimidates potential buyers, so why are there so many price guides published? I’ve noticed on Ebay that things like glassware, pottery and other “collectibles” usually sell for 10 to 50% of the current book prices.
A good starting point is 50 of the book value.
The truth of the matter is – It is only worth what someone will pay you for it.
Cant pay the rent with glassware and pottery.
